Alt-metal vanguards From Ashes To New have released the emotionally charged new song “Barely Breathing” featuring Chrissy Costanza from rock trio Against The Current.
Adeptly juxtaposing clean vocals and rap verses delivered by From Ashes To New founding member Matt Brandyberry alongside impassioned screams from frontman Danny Case, “Barely Breathing,” examines the dissolution of a turbulent romance whose lovers are left “barely breathing.” Against The Current vocalist Chrissy Costanza’s melodic vocals movingly add to the intimacy of the track.
“From the moment we created this song, we knew it was special,” says Case. “It brought a new angle and a fresh sound to the band and because of that, we knew we wanted to feature a singer that could add their own flair and truly give the song its own identity. Chrissy is a perfect addition to this song and her voice brings a dynamic that elevates the song to an even greater level.”
“It’s always a huge honor to be welcomed into another artist’s world,” shares Costanza. “I was a massive fan of this song from the very first listen getting to be a part of it is such a dream.”
Using inspiration from the track’s dark cover art (seen above), From Ashes To New collaborated with director and VFX artist JOSIAHx for the “Barely Breathing” visually striking music video. Watch it below.
